Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of classroom pivotal response teaching(CPRT)-based fun-damental motor skills intervention on the motor coordination ability in children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD).Methods Seventeen boys with ASD(aged 5～9 years)were recruited from a leading au-tism rehabilitation center.According to the principle of convenience sampling,the school-age class 3(n=9)was taken as the experimental group,and class 1 and 2(n=8)were chosen as the control group.Before the intervention,there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of social communication skills.The experimental group was given CPRT-based fundamental motor skills in-tervention 3 times/week,60 minutes/session,for 9 weeks,while the control group did not receive the intervention.Before and after the intervention,as well as 4 weeks after the intervention,both groups were evaluated their motor coordination skills(manual dexterity,aiming and catching,and balance)us-ing the movement assessment battery for children(Movement-ABC).Repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare the differences in the total Movement-ABC scores and scores across its subdomains between the experimental group and the control group during different intervention periods.Results(1)After the intervention,the scores of experimental group were significantly higher than the control group in total motor skills,aiming and catching,and balance[F(1,15)=14.308,P<0.01;F(1,15)=7.244,P<0.05;F(1,15)=9.362,P<0.01].Moreover,4 weeks after the intervention,the scores of the former group were also significantly higher than the latter in all the above measurements[F(1,15)=11.670,P<0.01;F(1,15)=5.549,P<0.05;F(1,15)=9.209,P<0.01].(2)After the intervention,there was an improvement in manual dexterity in the experimental group,but without significant differences compared with the control group[F(1.316,19.736)=4.795,P>0.05].Conclusion The CPRT-based fundamental motor skills inter-vention can improve and sustain motor coordination among children with ASD,primarily through en-hanced performance in aiming,catching and balancing.
